Headteacher Alison Colwell has said she believes the new policy means both teachers and students "win"

Five teachers at the mixed secondary school in Southfleet Road will still read student's work but instead of marking individual corrections, they will instead make their own notes on common mistakes and good answers, according to the Gravesend Reporter.

The teachers will then give feedback to the class, pointing out the common mistakes and what a good answer should look like.

This means it is down to students to listen carefully in class in order to be able to improve their work.

Headteacher, Alison Colwell, said: "It means teachers are not buckling under the strain of excessive marking, and have far more time to plan lessons and source excellent resources, so the children and teachers both win."

Ebbsfleet Academy has previously been in the news when parents were critical of the school's policy towards the length of skirts.

Pupils were turned away from school after their skirts were judged to be more than 5cm above the knee.

The school's uniform policy specifies that students at the secondary school must wear a navy A-line skirt “of a suitable length for school, that is, no more than 5cm above the knee”.

Local mum Kim O’Brien, whose 15-year-old daughter was turned away by the school said at the time: “The school sent letters home before Christmas asking us to check that our daughters’ skirts weren’t more than five centimetres above the knee.

“My daughter turned up to school today in her old school skirt, which she’s never had a problem with before, and they told her to stand to one side and wouldn’t let her in.”
